SECTION 1
General Information
Introduction
The 7847i-E Intranet Communication Module transports alarm signals via a Private LAN.
This easy-to-install device provides sophisticated data security and communicates directly to
a 7810PC or 7810iR-ent Intranet receiver (herein referred to as the “receiver”) in a private
network application. In addition to alarm reporting, the 7847i-E provides
upload/downloading capability via a Private LAN.
NOTE: The communicator is evaluated for Level A3 Active Channel Security and P3 Passive
Channel Security. If used in zone trigger mode or for Passive Channel Security, a Listed
DACT must be used and connected to the MX8000 central station receiver.
System Features
Basic features of the 7847i-E include:
•Easy CAT-5 10 BaseT connection to a hub or router
•Installs behind firewalls without compromising network security
•Supports dynamic or static IP addressing
•Quick connection to compatible Honeywell series control panels
•Simple programming using a 7720P programming tool
•Reports fire, burg, and status messages via a Private LAN
•Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data over aPrivate LAN
About Private Network Application
The 7847i-E transmits signals within a private network application to a 7810PC or
7810iR-ent receiver. Up to 300 7847i-E Intranet Communication Modules may be routed to a
single receiver.
For receivers:
MX8000: UL/ULC. can be used for secondary reporting in ECP. Required for Zone Trigger or
Passive Channel Security.

Encryption
The 7847i-E and receiver support private key encryption. Private key encryption means that
both the sender and the receiver know the KEY used to encrypt the data. Each device
produced by Honeywell is loaded with a globally unique identifier called a MAC number, and
a large random number or KEY. When a device contacts the receiver it sends the MAC
number in the clear followed by the message that is encrypted using the KEY data.
The communication devices use 256 bit AES (Rijndael) encryption (which is required for
certain government installations). The AlarmNet-i AES Encryption Software Module
Version 1.0 contained in the Honeywell products has NIST approval. Listings for this
approval can be found at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/aes/aesval.html
Certification number 979.
Installation Key
At installation a 10-digit installation key needs to be programmed into every device in the
network. This 10-digit key should be the same for all devices used in the Private LAN mode.
The communication device uses this key to encrypt its private key when it registers with the
receiver. This way its MAC and private key can be learned. This installation key is used for
registration purposes only and is not used for supervision or alarm transmission. Once a
device is registered the receiver will have a copy of the 7847i-E’s factory KEY. From this
point on the unique factory key is used for communications.
Recovery Mode
In the event of a failure of the receiver requiring the replacement of the hardware or the
erasure of its memory, the receiver supports a Recovery Mode. In Recovery Mode, the
receiver is programmed with the same 10-digit installation key. When a 7847i-E
communicates with the receiver and is found not to exist in its database, a special response is
sent back to the 7847i-E requesting it to re-register itself. The 7847i-E then registers using
the 10-digit installation key. When all accounts have been recovered, Recovery Mode can be
turned off to provide better control of registration.
Modes of Operation
UL/ULC
Only ECP Mode has been approved for ULC installations.
ECP and Zone Trigger have been approved for UL installations
The 7847i-E provide four modes of operation so they can be used with various types of control
panels, as summarized below:
ECP Mode
•This mode is for use with Honeywell controls that support communication device (LRR)-ECP
communication
•The module connects to the control’s keypad terminals and provides 2-way communication
with the control using ECP messaging
•The control treats the module as a communication (LRR) device, so program the control
accordingly, including setting the module’s proper device address
•Panel-generated reports are sent in Contact ID format
•The module also supports two hardwire zone trigger inputs (zones 6 and 7) – these report in
ADEMCO High-Speed format

Section 1: General Information
1-3
Zone Trigger Mode
•This mode is for use with controls that do not support communication device-ECP
communication nor 4204 Relay Modules
•The module provides six input zones
•Each zone can be configured for +V, -V, or EOLR triggering
•Each zone can be programmed for inverted operation, delayed reporting, and restoral
reporting
•Zones should use EOL resistors and programmed as V+ inverted or V- Inverted so a cut line
results in an alarm.
•Zone 1 and 2 inputs can distinguish between pulsed and steady signals and report fire or
burglary alarms respectively
•Zone 1 and 2 inputs can also be programmed to report LYNX panic (if used with LYNX
control)
•Zone 1 and 2 are not for use as fire/burglary zones by UL
•Reports are sent in ADEMCO High-Speed format
Module Supervision Features
The 7847i-E provides the following types of supervision and module fault detection:
•Network communication failure: In the event the receiver does not hear a supervisory
message from the module within a specified time (“Supervision” option), it notifies the central
station of a communication failure.
•Fault output: Terminal 11 can serve as a fail-safe trigger for module fault conditions.
If used, the fault relay will trip when the following conditions occur; tamper*, loss of network
connectivity*, the device is not registered.
*Alarm reporting for the noted condition must be enabled for it to trigger the fault relay.
•Cover tamper condition (“Tamper Rpt” option).

Wiring the 7847i-E
Unshielded, 22 AWG cable is recommended for 7847i-E power/data wires.
ULC
For ULC Household Fire and Burglary installations, use ECP wiring only.
NOTE: The unit is to be mounted with all interconnecting wires between the Listed Control panel
and communicator less than 3 feet in length and contained within the same room. All
interconnecting wiring must be installed in rigid or in flexible metal conduit if run in the walls or
ceiling. A UL/ULC Listed router must also be used.
Wiring for ECP Mode
Most Honeywell ADEMCO control panels support ECP data communication, (e.g., VISTA-
10P, VISTA-15P, VISTA-20P, LynxR-I, VISTA-128BP/BPT and VISTA-250BP/BPT and the
VISTA-128FBP/FBPT and VISTA-250FP/FBPT). However, there are some panels that do
not. Check the Installation and Setup Guide for the control panel you are using to see if it
supports ECP communication.
Connect the 7847i-E to a compatible Honeywell VISTA control panel's ECP terminals, in
parallel with keypads and other peripheral devices, VIP module, etc. Wire length/gauge
limitations are the same for the module as they are for keypads and other peripheral devices.
To wire the module for ECP communication, see Figure 3and do the following:

Figure 3. Wiring a Vista for ECP Mode
Wiring for Zone Trigger Mode
To trip the zone on the 7847i-E in V+ trigger mode, the positive triggering voltage from the
control panel must be within 2.0V-14V.
Trigger levels above this range may cause permanent damage to the unit.
Trigger levels below this range result in unreliable operation.
To trip the zone on the 7847i-E in V- trigger mode, the negative triggering voltage must be
less than 1.0V.
Connect a wire from the triggering source (bell output, voltage trigger, etc.) of the control
panel to the zone input of the module, and connect a common ground between the module
and control panel.

Notes for Trigger Mode with Non- Honeywell Controls:
•Commercial Fire: a) Assign one zone (3-7) between the 7847i-E and triggering device for
each of the following conditions: alarm, trouble, & supervisory events. See Summary of
Connections diagram on inside back cover for wiring detail and refer to the control panel’s
instructions for specific control panel wiring terminals.
b) The control panel used must be UL 864 Listed and evaluated for central station or
proprietary service.
•For voltage trigger mode, the voltage trigger must be within the range of 2.4Vdc - 12.6Vdc
for positive triggers.
•Power must be supplied by a separate power supply with sufficient backup battery Listed
1481 [for fire] or UL603 [for Burg] and wiring must be in conduit in accordance with local
codes. UL 1481 Power supply output must be 12Vdc Regulated.

Power Connections and Options
Primary power for the 7847i-E is provided by the auxiliary power output of the control panel
9.6V –13.8V, typical, or other external power source.
When calculating the total load on the auxiliary power output of the control panel, 20mA
must be budgeted for the 7847i-E. Under normal operating conditions, the unit will not pull
more than 20mA; however, it will draw 75mA during a transmission.
Connect the wires from the (+) and (–) terminals of the DC power source to terminals V+ and
GND on TB1 of the 7847i-E. Observe Polarity!
If using an external power source, connect GND from power supply to GND of the control
panel.
Ethernet Connections
UL
1. For UL installations, the Cat. 5 Ethernet connections between the 7847i-E and
the router cannot exceed 12 feet with both the 7847i-E and the router located
within the same room.
2.
Use a Listed cable/DSL router suited for the application.
•Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (Category 5) to the 7847i-E's RJ45 Ethernet
connector and the other end to the cable/DSL router.
Figure 8. Ethernet Connections
Initial Power-Up Sequence
Before connecting power, check that the following have been completed:
•Terminal block TB1 V+ and GND terminals are connected to the control panel's auxiliary
power output: 12 VDC nominal.

SECTION 3
Programming the 7847i-E
General Information
To the control panel, the 7847i-E Intranet Communication Module, when in ECP Mode, is
treated as a long-range radio device.
The 7847i-E can be configured to deliver alarms via a Private LAN directly to a 7810PC or
7810iR-ent receiver. Communication is encrypted to ensure security. The 7847i-E uses 256-
bit AES (Rijndael) encryption (which is required for certain government installations).
You can program a 7847i-E by one of the following methods:
•Through use of a 7720P Programming Tool
•Through a programming mode in control panel, on panels that support this option (e.g.,
Vista-128BP and FBP)
Using a 7720P Programming Tool
Connect the 7720P Programming Tool; refer to Figure 8 in Section 2. The 7847i-E powers
the 7720P Programming Tool via the programming jack, and automatically senses the
presence of the 7720P when it is plugged in.
Each key of the 7720P has two possible functions: a normal function and a Shift function.
To perform a normal key function, simply press the desired key. To perform a Shift function,
press the [shift] key, and then press the appropriate key.
The prompts in this document reflect use of the 7720P Programming Tool. Table 2 below
lists each normal and shift key function.

conditions (tamper & loss of network) to trigger
the fault output
Choosing Flt Rel ON (Y),
•Provides a ground during normal operation.
•Provides an open during a fault.
•“Failsafe mode” (if the radio loses power, the
fault output opens, de-energizing the relay)
Choosing Flt Rel ON (N),

UL/ULC NOTE: Must be “Y” for commercial burglary
Important Information Regarding Zone Input Options
ECP mode supports two optional hardwire zone input triggers by making connections to the module’s zone 6 and/or zone
7 terminals and programming the appropriate zone trigger options below.
Each zone input can be programmed to cause an alarm under one of the following conditions:
•(V+), where a positive voltage causes an alarm for normally low connections (voltage trigger, NO, NC)
•(V–), where a ground trigger causes an alarm for normally high connections (open collector, NO, NC)
•(EOLR) End of Line Resistor, where the input is supervised by a 2K EOL resistor. The zone can be triggered by
open collector, voltage trigger, NO, NC.
In addition to the above, zones can be programmed for an Inverted Trigger, where the alarm and normal states of the
zones are inverted; this can serve a fail-safe supervisory purpose for certain installations.
These zone inputs can also be programmed for restore reporting, and for delayed reporting, which allows time for the user
to abort false alarms.
NOTE: Optional hardwire zones report in ADEMCO High-Speed format.

ECP Status Codes
When the 7847i-E is configured for ECP mode, it sends status messages to the control panels
(e.g., VISTA-10P, VISTA-15P and VISTA-20P series), for tamper, and network connectivity
failures. Some of the control panels display these on the keypad as "LngRng Radio" followed
by a 4-digit code (listed in table 4). In addition, the Contact ID codes (listed in Appendix B)
for these conditions are sent to the central station by the module.

There are six input zones available on the 7847i-E. Zones 1 and 2 are located on TB1 pin 5
and are selectable for +V, –V, or EOLR modes, which can detect both pulsed and steady
signals. The pulsed signal is reported as an alarm on zone 1 (Fire); the steady signal is
reported as an alarm on zone 2 (Burg). The implied pulse count for zone 1 is fixed to 3
pulses. No restores are reported for this zone.
Zones 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are voltage trigger inputs located on TB1 pins 6-10.
